a). Inflammable chemicals, such as those used for cleaning & servicing the computer equipment.
b). Electrical faults, such as open wires or cables.
c). Smoking.
- Keep the chemicals away in a store after using them to avoid any accidents.
- Ensure that all electrical wires are properly insulated. Open wires or cables must be properly covered with an Insulating tape or replaced with new ones as they can cause fire leading to damage of equipment.
- The computer room must always have a gaseous fire extinguisher especially those containing Carbon dioxide in case of any accidents.
Note. Water based or Powder extinguishers should not be used in the computer room because; they can cause damage to computer components.
Water causes rusting of the metallic parts and short circuits, while Powder particles normally settle on storage devices and may scratch them during read/write operations.
- Any incidence that may result in damage to equipment should be reported to the person in charge of the laboratory.
- No student should attempt to repair the equipment as this may lead to complete damage of the equipment.
